could overlook the world ''Al shall be des-

in December next an earthquake will swallow
up Calhoun. This will be accompanied by a
whirwind. Then a great fire will burn all that
is left, and woe unto him who is not ready for
the great day." Many other things were said,

created has been famed into fierce fame by
the appearance of Greek cross suspended over

A Bit Of Levity That May Prove Expensive
to an Editor.
New York Times.
New Brunswick cannot appreciate a joke. The
editor OF the News, one of the local papers In
that ancient little Jersey town, has discovered
this to his sorrow. One day last week the News
published an item stating that General Delivery
Clerk ]. P. White and Distributing Clerk Fred
s. Way, OF the postofice, have for come time
been selling thirteen postage stamps for cent
and quarter. The discovery has been made by
Detective Oliver, and he has explained the mat
ter to Postmaster Carson. who will await further
evidence of any peculiar financial transactions
before having the young men arrested"
When the good people of New Brunswick read
this item they pondered long and shook their
heads and muttered wisely. They ought to be
arrested at once" said one man. 1T will go
hard with them now that they have the govern
ment on their track" said another. why did
they sell the stamps SO cheaply" asked another.
IF they wanted to steal stamps AID then pocket
the proceeds they should haze sold them at the
regular price to avoid suspicion"
On Friday government inspector reached the
town and handed the postmaster communca-
ton from the department demanding particulars
of the alleged theft, and asking why the case had
not been reported Friends Of the two clerks
began to pass them On the street without nodding.
Anxious neighbours dropped in to see the families
of the two men. The clerks themselves dropped
in to see she city editor of the News
That gentleman explained that the whole item
was joke. that cent and quarter tof dol
larl made 26 cents, and that it eminently
right and proper that this sum should be re-
ceived for thirteen two-cent postage stamps.
The clerks, however, were annoyed at the turn
affairs had taken, and, in spite of the fact tina,
the editor has explained the joke in his columns
have entered two civil suits for libel. each plac
ing the damages at S. 000 Hugh Boyd, propri
etor of the News, has been served with a cum
mons to answer the charge in the Circuit Court
next Saturday and the clerks have engaged
lawyer to assert their rights and define theil
wrongs. Meanwhile the citizens are beginning
to see the joke, and the only people who are no,
laughing are the clerks the lawyers, and tho

Senator Voorhees, thinks that Indiana has not
been represented in this administration since the
death of Mr. Hendricks numerously and i'm
portantly the country intended. Perhaps
the country has changed it's mind since 1884.
Indiana has made pretty strong exhibit of
itself meantime. and it may be not to it's ad-
vantage. There is Turpie for example. and
there are the clean sweep in indianapolis, and

Why Miss Mollie Garfield and Her Mother
Are to Visit Europe.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 12-It is rumored both in
New York and this city that the real cause of
the postponement of Miss Mollie Garfeld's ar
riage is that the young lady does not intend to
marry Mr.. Brown at all. An intimate friend of
the late General Garfield, and since his DEATH of
Mrs. Garfield and the family. said to the Herald
correspondent. with reference to the matter:
There is probably no further use in attempting
to conceal the true reason for the sudden de-
parture of Mrs. Garfield and daughter Mollie for
Europe The rumors or Mrs. Garfelds mar
riage engagement are absurd. She accompanied
General Garfield to Europe at one time when he
was i'll. and was herself violently sick during
the entire trip over; consequently it can readily
beseen that 1t would take something more i'm
portaut than the illness of her niece, May
Mason, of this city, as has been stated in the
papers, to cause her to take the trip at this
time. The real reason is a rupture which has
occurred between Miss Mole and J. Stanley
Brown, the young man who expected to become
her husband this month. Mr.. Brown was Gen
eral Garield's private secretary. He wears
r1f1ed shirt-front and makes rather a present
able appearance, but appears to have particu-
lar prospects and not great deal of money.
Miss Mollie herself recently denied to friend
that she was ever engaged to Mr.. Brown. At
any rate, IT is safe to say that the wedding is
entirely off. AS the wedding has long beer
looked forward to certainty by friends of
the family, the trip was made to escape the en-
barrassment OF the situation"

Both Parties To Be Represented on Civil =
Service Examining Boards.

Both Parties To Be Represented on Civil
Service Examining Boards.
WASHINGTON Oct 12.-Civil-service Commits
sioner Obery has supplemented his letter to the
Illinois Democratic Association by an order, the
intention of which is to prevent active poiti-
clans from becoming members of boards of civil
service examiners. He states that when he be-
come a commissioner. the membership of every
board Of examiners was Republican but as the
collectors of classified customs districts and
classified postofices were changed and Demo
Gratis took their places the Republicans who oc-
cupied places on the board of examiners began
to be replaced by the Democrats who suc-
ceeded them. and it became apparent the boards
would soon become solidly Democrats
they had been soidy Republican
Commissioner Oberly, month or SO
after he became commissioner. offered a
resolution that no board of examiners should be
composed OF members of any one party. This
resolution was adopted By a unanimous vote Of
the commission, and now there are no boards
that do not contain Democratic and Republican
members. In this way Commissioner Oberly
says the suspicion that the Civilservice Com
mission machinery was intended to be used for
party purposes in great measure re-
moved. To carry the work still further in
this direction, he has made an order as fol-
lows:
member Of any political committee, or any asso-
citation organized for the purpose or engaged in
the work of promoting the interst of any politi-
cal party, shall be eligible to membership on apy
board of examiners"
This order will stand the action of the
commission. unless. upon the return of Com
missioners Lyman and Edgerton, they shall
both disapprovs of the action of the commits
sloner in charge.
